A major multi-billion-dollar conglomerate from India has just won five iron ore mines, securing an iron ore reserve estimate of close to 111 million tonnes.

JSW Steel, India’s leading primary and integrated steel producer, has won five mines located in Karnataka through auction.

“The company has won five mines in the auctions of C-category iron ore mines in Karnataka. Two mines (0.71metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) capacity) will be operational by first half of 2017-18 and the remaining three will be operational by the end of the fiscal. All five mines are expected to produce approximately 4.7 MTPA iron ore,” JSW Steel said in its Annual Report 2016-17.
